    hertryk, you work for flight Centre? Good. I'll pay out on you then.

    Early this week I got my visa card statement and noticed a debit for $325 in favour of Flight Centre Northbridge. Never did business with that branch in my life, and haven't dealt with FC for a few years (they were very good when I did, though).

    Out side possibility it could have been a legitimate transaction with a FC related business though. The question had to be asked.


    Contacted them yesterday, advised of my concern, asked them to check what it was about. Get my team leader to ring you back immediately the girl said. Two days later still no response, so I will now lodge a disputed transaction complaint.

    Could have been avoided, and settled my anxiety with a little sensible PR on FC's part.

    Never do business with them again, will tell everybody I know, starting here.

    The bird at Cottesloe FC was tops, even though it was the biggest itinery she had handled in seven years and I was probably about two months later in organising than I should have been.
    Couldn't have been more helpful.

    Burgs, I also had a great experience with the Cottesloe Flight Centtre a few years back, don't anybody be smart about that.

    However, I have also had a very bad experience with them following that.....their after sales service/support sucks!

    "Them" being the company and not the Cottesloe branch...who still rate highly in my mind....or at least the girls efforts....oh FFS you know what I mean!!!!

    Always found www.wotif.com.au to be a bit of a winner for such things.
    Cut price rooms if you are booking within a week or two of your stay.
    Often up to half price for the flasher places.

    They were probably hoping it was a one way ticket...

    Don't fly jetstar. It might be cheap but its nasty.

    I have no idea where to stay in Perth, somewhere in the city probably, close to transport and easier to get around from there, especially if you haven't been before.

    Staying in the city can be tricky, it's either cheap backpacker accomm or expensive apartments.

    Will you have a car while in Perth?

    The Australian Hotel in The Rocks is the ONLY place to stay in Sydney, right in the thick of it and just $110 a night for Force supporters. Ask for Eva or Laura.
